Use John as your depth anchor.

Touch each teaching passage on at least 3 different days before you teach it.

Read Every Morning

I am not here to drift. I am here to magnify Christ, obey Him, and live with intention.

My “Why”

I want to magnify Christ in my life. I want to defeat every sinful part in me that has caused me to sin against Christ. I want to become the type of man that the world looks at and knows Who I follow. I want to become the type of man that exalts Christ in me. I want to become the type of man who people can count on when they are in need. I want to become the type of man that loves so well that it motivates others to do the same. I want to be strong and faithful, not falling into the same things that have kept me on the floor. I want to please God with a life of diligence, learning obedience and understanding and growing in knowledge of Him and in love.

My “Why” Continued

I want to be bold for Jesus. I want to be remembered for being a man who truly loved Christ, a man whose life is so evident of God and His creation. I want to show off Christ in me and His love that He extends to those who believe in Him. I want to be gentle and patient. I want to be Christlike even when it is hard to be. I want to be loud when others are quiet when it is time to speak up. I want justice to be served and I want my God to be pleased with me. I want to be kingdom minded, not just a hearer but a doer. I want to keep my eyes centered on God so the things of this world do not sway me, and that I do not imitate the world but Christ instead.

Legacy Aim

I want to point generations of men to strive and pursue Christ through my day-to-day life by example. I want to be an overseer. I want to be a man who stands firm on the foundation that is Christ and cannot be swayed by the enticement of even the slightest sin or sinner.

Purpose Statement

The purpose of my life is to live life abundantly (John 10:10). God has not given me breath to sin. The sun does not shine on me so I can waste my life on whatever my flesh desires to do. I am here to serve Jesus Christ and to experience the fullness of the abundant life that He offers. No more clicking or scrolling my life away. I will seek the face of the Lord of lords and grow in my desire to advance the kingdom of heaven and please and glorify the Father.

Key Priorities

Deepen intimacy with God • Serve others in love • Financial freedom and stewardship • Advance my career with purpose • Take care of myself biblically

I Am

A child of God
An ambassador of Christ
Crucified with Christ
Dead to my sin and alive in Christ, through whom I can do all things
Not someone who wants to be comfortable
Striving after God's heart
Meek, capable of power through Christ in me but discerning through wisdom
Humble, waiting patiently to be exalted rather than seeking self-expansion
Content with the identity and significance that has been given rather than achieved
Modest in apparel and attitude
Filled with godly burden and conviction that produces integrity, sacrifice, and commitment
Committed to living in the most effective, God-honoring, God-glorifying way possible
Resolved to leave a legacy of pointing strangers to Christ, loving neighbors with the heart, hands, and feet of Christ, fighting the darkness that spreads throughout our culture, and expanding the Household of God
